KINDER DANCE LESSONS - Ages: 2.5-4

As most early childhood educators know young children's primary need is to express themselves through movement.Our Kinder dance program includes: basic physical exercising, which develops
loco motor skills (walking, running, jumping, leaping, galloping), non loco
motor skills (stretching, bending), stability and balance skills, playing rhythm instruments and listening
to different kinds of music. It is well known
that music skills are necessary to develop from birth and infancy.
Creativity develops through dramatic play, imitation and imagination. Our enthusiastic teachers use costumes, masks, puppets and toys to make
captivating fairytales.
Children imitate how a rabbit is jumping, a crocodile is crawling, a bird is flying in a
form of dance. Children develop social and teamwork skills through games and other activities.

BALLET CLASSES - Ages: 5 and up

Ballet is a form of theatrical entertainment contained within a strict academic school.
Ballet classes always start at the 'barre', which supports the balance of the body
while the dancer completes various routines designed to increase strength, mobility and 'turn out'.
All ballet classes are divided into two parts: barre exercises and centre practice.
The ballet program gets more complex from Grade 1 to Grade 4.
Mastering ballet requires much practice but it provides a necessary foundation for many other genres of dance.
If ballet turns out to be very hard for you then hip-hop (see below) can be your escape.

HIP-HOP CLASSES - Ages: 12 and up

Hip-Hop a very popular form of dance with young people. It incorporates a
hip-hop style of music and focuses on quick coordinated steps and moves. It is a
more relaxed form of dance where you are encouraged to feel the music and get
into the groove.
In hip-hop the feet are grounded, the chest is down, and the body is kept loose
so that a dancer can easily alternate between hitting the beat or riding through the beat.
This is in contrast to ballet dancing where the chest is upright and the body is stiff.
Hip-hop started in the streets and therefore is less structured
and strict in technique. Hip-hop brings you newest dance forms as seen in
videos, movies and television. Hip-hop dancing is a fast beat dance. It
develops rhythm, isolated and coordinated body parts movements.

ACRO LESSONS - Ages: 7 and up

Acro combines flexibility, gymnastics and strength with traditional form of dance such as ballet, jazz, lyrical and modern.
Its signature feature is graceful transition between dance movements and acrobatic tricks.
These elements are set to music and create various choreographical sequences.
Acro, also known as acrobatic dance, is a very challenging style that requires students to be trained
in both dance and gymnastics. Many dance schools do not teach it due to lack of facilities and acrobatic expertise.
Acro can be performed solo, duo or in groups.
